And let it be known, in year 2x103 + 14, after the great cloud of tags was destroyed, and after the death of the Great Signature Guy, that the TDWTF community was once again delivered into fuckupedness by the mighty audio tag, and @subscript_error was it's prophet.

Ugh. Yeah, the culprit here is that for a long time we blindly stripped html tags from topic titles. This prevented a lot of potential xss but it also meant that you could not talk about html tags in legit topics.

It was only recently that we lifted that restriction, so this meant that html tags in titles didn't get adequately tested, obviously. This is our bad. @eviltrout is around so he can deploy a fix.

a) we don't have signatures ( )
b) the exploit has been fixed (with one minor exception)
c) Wouldn't that be illegal anyway? I don't think anybody here wants to create legal problems
d) Why am I using letters as bulletpoints? I dunno
e) You can be the first to find another exploit and try to put music in there, though

blah blah blah response response response thing thing thing jco - MASTER cheevos expert. I have all the cheevos. Be cool like me, be a cheevos god. Yeah, can you just come in on Saturday, that would be great [[[LooksLikeSomeoneMondays.JPNG]]] [image]

If only you guys had the ability to remove picture from posts or something like that (looking at that other topic I replied to :D)
Actually there are boards out there, that allow signatures that only show on the first / last post on said page (in this case topic) AND if you save them sepearatly you might even give users the options to turn them off.

This may sound like I care deeply for signatures when really I am just bored enough to defend random things on this board

I'm actually on the fence about signatures, whether they should be part of a modern forum system or not. Certainly it's a typical expectation but they are often so badly abused it's not even funny. Last time I thought about that kind of thing, I actually set up the warning system specifically so moderators could easily issue warnings to users about their signatures and hide them from the public for a period of time (giving the offender chance to change their signature to be less unpleasant)

I wanted to reply with "WhyWasIBanned.com" but that site went out of business a while ago.
You might find it with some internettimemashine or whatever you fancy. It was basically a site about people complaining about being banned from XBox-Live after breaking the rules ~10000 times. It was almost as hillarious as this but with the added bonus of whining.
Your post made me think of this!

Usually the things you inbox are actually relevant to what you stated. Now I know that something about google+ and Gmail is happening and stuff... but there is no mention of Signatures anywhere. You should have used a Post where people were singing and dancing for getting Signatures!!!

Signatures perform two roles in forum communities: self expression or self promotion. Sometimes both at once. The example you gave is one of self promotion but in an automated fashion that will tend towards being ignored because it will end up blending in with the page flow.
